A recent study published in PLOS ONE has revealed a clever dosage mechanism that helps keep gene expression in a biallelic state. This mechanism, called epigenetic regulation, is a way for cells to control gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. By controlling the expression of certain genes, cells can regulate the production of proteins, which are essential for many biological processes. The findings of this study could have implications for treating diseases caused by gene expression imbalances.
